Re: Ethernet connection not listed through DBus/ListConnections

I am trying to automatically connect to a VPN (PPTP) connection through
DBus. I have used the script posted by Tambet Ingo as a starting point,
found here:
http://www.nabble.com/dbus-and-OpenVPN-Autostart-td21905375.html
The problem is that my Ethernet connection (Auto Eth1), that is required
to be connected before the VPN, is not listed through the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings.ListConnections function.
So how do I get the last parameter to ActivateConnection? I.e.:
iface.ActivateConnection('org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings',
vpn_connection, # =
/org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/0 which is my VPN
dbus.ObjectPath(/),
active_connection, # where to get?
reply_handler=reply_handler,
error_handler=error_handler)
I do have the UUID for both connections, found under
cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Auto eth1
and
cat ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/2/connection/%gconf.xml
respectively.
I am using network-manager-0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964 under Ubuntu 9.04.
Any and all help appreciated.

I'm stuck here, and the PPTP connection goes down several times a day,
really frustrating. Anyone can shed some light on this dbus issue? What
could trigger that my ethernet connection is not listed in ListConnections?

VPN problem
Hi, I've got issues trying to connect to a Cisco VPN through Network Manager. I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 with NM 0.7.0.100. Note that if I use vpnc directly, $ sudo vpnc-connect vpn.conf it's working just fine. Network Manager is configured with the same parameters as used in vpn.conf. When using Network Manager, I get those errors below in the /var/log/daemon.log file: May 30 11:17:36 LinuxPC NetworkManager: info Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc'... May 30 11:17:36 LinuxPC NetworkManager: info VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc' started (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc), PID 11684 May 30 11:17:36 LinuxPC NetworkManager: info VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc' just appeared, activating connections May 30 11:17:36 LinuxPC NetworkManager: info VPN plugin state changed: 1 May 30 11:17:36 LinuxPC NetworkManager: info VPN plugin state changed: 3 May 30 11:17:36 LinuxPC NetworkManager: info VPN connection 'VPN rtbf users' (Connect) reply received.

debug tips
Hi folks, I'm trying to debug a 100% reproducable issue but don't really know where to look for clues. I have a Sony VAIO VGN-FZ240E, running 64bit Fedora 8. It happens with many wifi networks that when I boot everything goes fine, I can connect to the wifi network with nm-applet but as soon as I lose the connection I will never be able reconnect. The networks in question use pre-shared keys. If I reboot, everything will be fine again, I can connect using the password, but as soon as I lose connection the only way I can reconnect is by reboot. Instead of rebooting I tried manually restarting all network related services but that doesn't help. These are the services I restart in this order from /etc/rc3.d that I guess are relevant: service ip6tables restart service iptables restart service network restart The first two are fine, but 'service network restart' always fails bringing up wlan. When I reboot, wlan comes up okay though. And this is 100% reproducable. I have absolutely no clue what reboot does that I don't when manually starting the services. Also, I have no idea where to look for clues. Which log files to look at? Any other tips?

I don't say it would work but you should restart NetworkManager not network. The first two are fine, but 'service network restart' always fails bringing up wlan.
